Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed March 6, 1905- Serial No. 248,598.

1'0 alt whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIE H. WYANT, a citizen of the United States,residing at Tabor, in the county of Fremont and State of Iowa, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Radiators; and I dodeclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same. v

This invention relates to improvements in radiatorsv The object of theinvention is to provide a radiator by which the waste heat from thesmoke of a stove or furnace may be utilized.

Another object is to providea radiator of this character whereby thecold air from an upper room which is heated by the radiator may beconducted to the lower end of'the radiator and will be passedtherethrough and heated and again discharged into the room above, thusproviding a perfect circulation of air.

A further object is to provide a radiator for this purpose which will besimple, strong, and durable in construction and provided with threesections, whereby a double-heating capacity is provided.

With these and other objects inview the in- Vention consists of certainnovel features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts,as will be hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinalsectional view of the radiator, showing the same arranged for heating anupper room. Fig. 2 is a similar view taken at right angles to Fig. 1.horizontal sectional view on the line 3 3 of Fig. 4 is-a similar view onthe line 4 4 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 5 is a vertical longitudinal sectionalview showing the radiator arranged for heating the room occupied by thesame.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, 1 denotes the radiator,which is preferably cylindrical in form and constructed of sheet metaland comprises a main or body portion formed of an outer cylindricalcasing 2 and an intermediate casing 3 and an inner casing 4. Saidcasings are secured at their lower ends to a circular base-plate 5. Inthe base-plate 5, between the outer and intermediate casings, is formedan annular series of Fig. 3 is a.

air-inlet openings 6, while in the center of said base-plate is formedan opening 7 over which is arranged the central or inner casing 4.

On the lower side of the circular base-plate 5 is formed an annularflange 8, which is adapted to engage the upper edge of a hollowcylindrical base 9, upon which the body portion of the radiator isadapted to rest. In one side of the hollow base 9 is formed a flangedopening 10, with which is adapted to be connected a cold-air pipe 12.Said cold-air pipe may lead to any source ofsupply, but preferablyextends to a room above that occupied by the radiator when said upperroom is to be heated by the radiator.

Within the intermediate section 3, between the inner walls of the sameand the inner casing, is arranged a smoke-flue 13, the upper end ofwhich is closed, while the lower end of the same opens into theintermediate cas ing, as shown. This smoke-flue 13 is formed by verticalpartitions 30, which are disposed radially with reference to the innercasing 4 and extend downwardly to within a suitable distance of thelower end of said inner casing.

In the wall of the intermediate casing3 and communicating with the smokeflue is a smoke-inlet opening 14, with which is connected the short pipe15. This pipe 15 passes through an opening formed in the outer casing 2and with which is adapted to be connected the end of a smoke-pipe 16from the stove or furnace. In the upper wall of the smoke-flue 13 isformed a direct-draft opening 17, which is normally closed by a damper18, the stem of which projects through the sides of the intermediate andouter casings and has formed thereon a handle by which said damper maybe operated.

In the intermediate casing 3 a slight distance above the upper end ofthe smoke-flue is formed a smoke-outlet opening 19, with which isconnected a short pipe 20, said pipe passing through an opening in theouter casing 2 and being adapted to receive the end of a smoke-dischargepipe 21, leading to the chimney. The upper end of the casing 3 is closedby a tight-fitting cover-plate 22, in which is formed acentrally-disposed aperture 23, in which is adapted to pass the upperend of the inner casing.

On the upper end of the outer casing 2 is arranged a cap 24, forming ahot-air dome or chamber into which the upper end of the inner casingopens and, with which the space between the outer and intermediatecasings communicates. The hot-air dome thus receives the heated air fromthe inner casing and from the space between the intermediate and outercasing. In the top of the cap 24: is formed a flanged discharge-opening25, and in one side of the same is formed a flanged opening 26. With oneor both of the openings is adapted to be connected a heat-conductingpipe 27, whereby the air from within the cap 24 is conducted to the roomabove or other desired place. l/Vhen only one of the discharge-openingsis used, the other is closed by means of a tight-fitting cap 28. Theopening in the top of the cap 24 is used when the heat is conducted tothe register set in the floor, while the discharge-opening 26 in theside of the cap 2 .2 is used to connect the radiator with a hotl-lairflue leading to a register in the side wa In Fig. 5 of the drawings theradiator is shown arranged for use in heating the room occupied thereby,and when thus used the hollow base 9 is removed from the lower end ofthe radiator-body, and to said lower end are applied supporting-legs 29.Said legs are detachably connected to the base-plate 5 in any suitablemanner. In this arrangement of the radiator the cap 24 is also removed,and in place of the same a finishing ring or band 30 is applied to theupper end of the radiatorbody. In the latter arrangement of the radiatorthe cold air from the lower portions of the room or near the floor ofthe same will pass upwardly through the openings 6 in the base plate 5and into the space between the outer intermediate casings, and cold airwill also pass upwardly through the intermediate casing 4. The airpassing thus upwardly through the radiator will become heated by the hotsmoke between the inner and intermediate casings and will pass outthrough the upper open end of the inner casing and the space between theouter and intermediate casings.

In one side of the outer and intermediate casings 2 and 3 are formedalined apertures in which is inserted a short section of pipe 31,forming a passage in the space between the intermediate and innercasings through which said space may be cleaned out. This passage issufficiently large to permit a small shovel or other suitable cleaningdevice. The passage formed by the pipe 31 is normally closed by a plugor other suitable door 32.

A radiator constructed-as herein shown and described may be connectedwith the smokepipe of any stove or furnace and will be made of varioussizes suitable to the stove or furnace to which the same is to be used,the heat from the smoke passing to the smoke-pipe of said stove orfurnace being utilized to heat the air passing through the radiator,thus materially increasing the heating capacity of the stove or furnace.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with theaccompanying drawings, the construction and operation of the inventionwill be readily understood Without requiring a more extendedexplanation."

Various changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details ofconstruction may be resorted to without departing from the principle orsacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

The herein-described radiator comprising the outer drum open at itsupper end, the intermediate drum in the outer drum, the inner drum inthe intermediate drum, the base-plate forming a closure for the lowerends of the outer and intermediate drums and having the openings 6between them and the opening 7 at the lower end of the inner drum, thetop plate forming a closure for the upper end of the intermediate drumand having the central opening through which the upper end of the innerdrum extends, the smoke-flue connections 15, 20, extending from theintermediate drum through one side of the outer drum, thedownwardly-directed deflector in the space between the intermediate andinner drums and having the horizontally-disposed upper portion closingsaid space on one side of the inner drum, disposed between the flueconnections and having an opening, and the damper to cover and uncoversaid opening.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twosubscribing witnesses.
